The Kiev team has made a big move in this transfer window by signing their fifth new player. The club has officially announced the acquisition of former Kryvbas midfielder, Mykhailo Blyznychenko, adding even more depth to their already strong squad.
Blyznychenko, 28, joins the team from the Obolon-Brovar Kyiv where he will reunite with former Kryvbas teammates, Dmytro Kozban and Andriy Sikorskiy. The midfielder brings a wealth of experience and a strong skillset to the team, making him a valuable addition to the squad.
Blyznychenko began his professional career with Kryvbas in 2010 and quickly established himself as a key player for the team. He became known for his technical ability on the ball and his excellent passing skills, making him a vital player in the team’s midfield. During his time with Kryvbas, he made over 100 appearances and scored 10 goals, earning him a reputation as one of the most talented midfielders in the league.
After six successful years with Kryvbas, Blyznychenko joined Obolon-Brovar Kyiv in 2016. He continued to impress with his performances, helping the team achieve promotion to the Ukrainian Premier League in his first season. However, due to financial difficulties, the team was unable to retain their position in the top flight and were relegated back to the Ukrainian First League. Blyznychenko remained with the team and played a crucial role in their fight for promotion, making 24 appearances and scoring 2 goals.
Now, with the opportunity to join a top club like Kiev, Blyznychenko is excited for the new challenge and is determined to help the team achieve their goals. In an interview with Sportarena.com, he said, «I am very happy to join the Kiev team. It’s a great opportunity for me to play for such a big club with a rich history. I am looking forward to working with my new teammates and helping the team achieve success.»
Kiev coach, Oleksandr Khatskevich, also expressed his excitement about the signing, saying, «We are delighted to have Mykhailo join our team. He is a talented midfielder with a lot of experience under his belt. We believe he will be a valuable asset to our squad and we are confident he will contribute to our success this season.»
The signing of Blyznychenko is yet another statement of intent from the Kiev team, who have been active in this transfer window, bringing in four other new players — Oleksandr Karavaev, Oleksandr Tymchyk, Vitaliy Buyalskyi, and Vitaliy Mykolenko. The team has also managed to retain key players such as Andriy Yarmolenko and Serhiy Sydorchuk, further strengthening their squad.
With the new additions to the team, Kiev is determined to make a strong challenge for the Ukrainian Premier League title and also make a mark in the UEFA Champions League. The team has had a successful start to the season, currently sitting at the top of the league table and making their way through the Champions League qualifiers.
The fans are also excited about the new signings and are looking forward to seeing Blyznychenko in action for the first time. Many have taken to social media to welcome the midfielder to the team and express their confidence in his abilities.
Overall, the signing of Mykhailo Blyznychenko has been met with positive reactions from all sides — the team, the coach, the fans, and the player himself. The Kiev team looks stronger than ever and is ready to compete for major trophies in the upcoming season. With the support of the fans and the determination of the players, the team is set to make a mark in both the domestic and European competitions.
